Abstract: A Spatial Light Modulator (10) having control circuitry (40,42,44,46) which insures that shorts (70,72) between some of the circuitry will result in "off" state defects. Sets of pixel elements (11) share a memory cell (12), each pixel element (11) in a set being switched to an on or off state by a reset line (13) that is separate from that of the other pixel elements (11) in that set. A pair of address electrode etches (44,46) are separated from each other and straddle a pair of data carrying etches (40,42). A zero is loaded to the data etches (40,42) when not loading memory cell (12) such that a short between the address electrode etches and the data etches will result in an "off" state pixel defect upon a reset pulse.

Abstract: A cleaner or replenishing cartridge (15; 300; 400; 500; 600; 700) and a method of cleaning an inkjet printing mechanism or printer (20; 220; 720) using such a cartridge to replace an inkjet pen (40, 42, 44; 240; 740, 742) is disclosed. The cartridge, powered by an on-board battery (318; 514, 515) or by pulses applied through the pen carriage interconnect, is positioned by the pen carriage (46; 246; 775) at a location to be cleaned. The cartridge may be fashioned for dispensing a fluid (105), such as an ink solvent, a lubricant, or a staticide to various printer components. The fluid may also be supplied to replenish a printer reservoir (262). The cartridge may be used for extracting ink sludge from the printer's ink lines (774), or for applying a vacuum suction force to draw particles into the cartridge (400). The cartridge may propel a cleaning media (304; 506) across an area to be cleaned, or refurbish (500; 600) worn printhead wipers (54; 254). By removing dirt, grit, and solidified ink from the printer, operation may be restored to a near-new condition.

Abstract: To prevent a reverse conducting GTO thyristor from oozing off carriers from a diode part (14) into a GTO thyristor part (13), and to prevent the GTO thyristor part from false firing, and the false firing withstand capability of the reverse conducting GTO thyristor is improved by setting the lifetime of an isolation region shorter (15) than those of the GTO thyristor part and the diode part. 
     Setting the lifetime of the isolation region which isolates the GTO thyristor part from the diode part is performed by gold or platinum diffusion, by electron beam irradiation, or by a combination of gold or platinum diffusion and electron beam irradiation.

Abstract: A method is provided for managing communications between a client process and a server process in a distributed computing environment. The client process resides on a host computer that is connected to a physical network having a transport layer and a network layer. The method begins when the client process makes a remote procedure call by detecting whether a server process identified by the remote procedure call is located on the host computer. If so, a binding handle vector is returned to the client process, the vector including at least one binding handle having a protocol sequence that establishes an interprocess communication path between the client and server processes instead of a path through the transport and network layers of the physical network. The remote procedure call is then executed, preferably by using a send and receive messaging facility of the host computer operating system.

Abstract: A digital video signal is recorded in a first number of tracks in a standard play (SP) mode and in a second number of tracks in a long play (LP) mode, wherein each frame of the digital video signal is recorded in first and second sets of tracks in the SP mode and in only a first set of tracks in the LP mode, each track having subcode data recorded therein for locating frames during a high speed search of the record medium. The digital video signal is compressed prior to recording in both the SP and LP modes, with the compression ratio being greater in the LP mode. When the digital video signal is recorded in the SP mode, the subcode data is of a first type for recording in the first set of tracks and is of a second type for recording in the second set of tracks; whereas when the digital video signal is recorded in the LP mode, only one type of subcode data is recorded. Hence, in the SP mode, a frame of compressed digital video signals includes subcode data of both types; and in the LP mode, a frame of compressed digital video signals contains subcode data of only one type.

Abstract: A transformation unit 102 transforms an entered image to multi-resolution space. A quantizer 105 performs vector quantization on a local pattern of an image of a multi-resolution representation. A perspective-order calculating unit 107 extracts a plurality of code words, positions corresponding thereto and/or angle of rotation and/or scale, and the perspective-order relationship of a plurality of these representative vectors, from the quantized image. An algebraic encoder 108 encodes the input image based upon the extracted information. As a result, there are provided an image processing apparatus and method for asymmetric encoding without motion in three dimensions and extraction of a three-dimensional structure. Further, a transformation unit 1103 transforms an entered image to vector field, and a singularity detector 1104 detects a singularity in the transformed image. A transformation encoder 1105 partitions the vector field into areas which include detected feature points, and each area is encoded by functional approximation. As a result, a finite number of feature points can be obtained with ease and an image processing apparatus and method exhibiting strong resistance to the effects of noise are provided.

Abstract: An image processing system, and method, for a multicolor printer, including a halftone generator that converts contone separation signals to binary separation signals. Halftone screens are generated for each separation in accordance with the goal of avoiding overlapping whenever possible. Initially, the black separation is halftoned, generating a dot pattern with a number of ON (K) pixels and OFF pixels in accordance with the area density of the black separation. Next, a first color (MAGENTA) separation is halftoned, setting a number of the previous OFF pixels to ON. Then, if any white pixels remain, a second color (CYAN) separation is halftoned, setting a number of the previously OFF pixels to ON. If during the processing of the second and third separations, it is determined that no OFF pixels exist to be turned ON, a second layer of color is started, respectively superimposed over the first layer. A third color separation (YELLOW) is halftoned in reverse fill-in order, setting a number of the previous OFF pixels to ON. Each layer is started and arranged so that the additional colors forming the dot pattern are not placed on any black areas.
